COATING COMPOSITION.

1 No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, QGEORGIA' C. TAYLOR,

' a citizen of the United States, residing at the points of -material for increasing the wearing qualities thereof. The composition is intended to be applied to the garment or fabric at greatest wear by rubbing the composition into the fabric.

1 The composition consistsof the following ingredients in substantially the proportions specified below:

1 pound of paraffin, 1 ounce boric acid, grains cocoanut oil (troy weight).

If desired, suitable coloring matter and perfume may be added -to the above ingreclients to give the product a pleasing appearance v and pleasant odor. I have found that one grain of pure coloring matter, pref- 30- erably pink, gives the product a pleasing appearance and about one grain of perfume gives the same a pleasing odor. v

The composition is compounded by first heating the paraffin nearly to boilingpoint, preferably in a double boiler, and then pouring it over the boric acid and thereafter stirring the mixture to obtain thorough mixture of the ingredients. "After thorough mixing has been obtained and as- Application filed April 14, 1922. Serial Nb. 552,784.

much as possible of the boric acid has been dissolved in the parafiin, the cocoanut oil is'next stirred in and the coloring material and the perfume may thereafter-be added.

The composition is applied to the fabric such as stockings, either before or after inserting the foot, by thoroughly and vigorously rubbing it into the fabric at the points most likely to be worn through such as the toe, heel, knee or where garters are attached. The composition, due to the paraffin, serves to reduce the friction between the fabric and the parts rubbing thereon, such as the shoe or toes, and consequently increasesthe length of life of the garment or fabric. The composition is primarily designed to be used on stockings to prevent the toes from wearing holes in the same, but may be used wherever desirable.

The ingredients comprising the composition are inexpensive and the composition is soothing and comforting to the feet of the user. It is perfectly harmless and will therefore, not have any injurious eflects on the tenderest skin.

What I claim is: I

1. A coating composition. consisting of paraflin, boric acid and cocoanut oil.

2. A coating composition consisting of one pound of paraflin, one ounce of boric .acid, and four-tenths grains of cocoanut oil. v

3. A coating composition consisting of paraflin, boric acid, cocoanut oil, perfume,

and coloring matter.
